	Nerve agent
		Nerve agents (also known as nerve gases, though these chemicals are liquid at room temperature) are a class of phosphorus-containing organic chemicals (organophosphates[?]) that inhibit the acetylcholinesterase[?] enzyme in animals and which are used as insecticides and chemical weapons.
		Nerve agents have not been used on large scales in wars, though there have been persistent reports of entire Kurdish villages in Iraq being killed by the use of nerve agents during the 1980s.
		Nerve agents are covered by the Chemical Weapons Convention which took effect in 1997 and forbids their use for countries which have ratified it.

		The nerve agent soman was discovered by Nobel Prize laureate Richard Kuhn and his collaborator Konrad Henkel at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg in spring of 1944 (see Schmaltz 2005).
		According to Mirzayanov, the Soviets also developed agents that were safer to handle, leading to the development of the so-called binary weapons, in which precursors for the nerve agents are mixed in a munition to produce the agent just prior to its use.
		Additionally, precursors to the agents are usually much easier to stabilize than the agents themselves, so this technique also made it possible to increase the shelf life of the agents a great deal.

	Nerve Agents: General
		The immediate treatment for nerve agent intoxication is intravenous injection of 2 mg atropine sulfate (pediatric dose calculate based on 0.02 mg/kg with a minimum dose of 0.1 mg) (intramuscular injection should be considered if the patient is hypoxic and ventilation can not be initiated, as there is a risk of ventricular fibrillation).
		Agents absorbed by cloth (clothing, blankets, etc.) may be released as a vapor by the cloth for for a significant period after exposure.
		As knowledge of the toxic properties of nerve agents spread in the wake of the Second World War and the rise of the Cold War, there were a number a number of incidents of attempts to acquire and threats to use nerve agents by non-state actors.

	VG (nerve agent) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		VG (O,O-Diethyl-S-[2-(diethylamino)ethyl] phosphorothioate) (also called Amiton or Tetram) is a "V-series" nerve agent chemically similar to the better-known VX nerve agent.
		Like the earlier German investigators of organophosphates in the late 1930s who had discovered the G-series nerve agents, Dr. Ghosh discovered that their action on cholinesterase made them effective pesticides.
		Some of the chemicals from this class of compounds formed a new group of nerve agents called V Agents.

	Deliberate Release of Nerve Agents
		The organophosphorus nerve agents are related chemically to organophosphorus insecticides and have a similar mechanism of toxicity, but a much higher mammalian acute toxicity, particularly via the dermal route.
		Two classes of nerve agents are recognized, G agents (G allegedly stands for Germany where the early agents were first synthesized) and V agents (V allegedly stands for venomous).
		Although available, nerve agents were not used in World War II, but were employed by Iraq against that country's own Kurdish population and there have been allegations of use of nerve agents during the Iran–Iraq War.

	Britain.tv Wikipedia - Sarin
		When a functioning motor nerve is stimulated it releases the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to transmit the impulse to a muscle or organ.
		Initial symptoms following exposure to sarin (and other nerve agents) are a runny nose, tightness in the chest and contraction of the pupils.
		The compound, which followed the discovery of the nerve agent tabun, was named in honor of its discoverers: Gerhard Schrader, Ambros, RÃ¼diger and Van der LINde.

	VE (nerve agent) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		VE (S-(Diethylamino)ethyl O-ethyl ethylphosphonothioate) is a "V-series" nerve agent closely related to the better-known VX nerve agent.
		Like most of the agents in the V-series (with the exception of VX), VE has not been extensively studied outside of military science.
		It is commonly theorized that the so called "second-generation" V series agents came from a cold war era Russian chemical weapons development program.

	Nerve Agent: VX
		It is an organophosphate nerve agent with an extended persistence (evaporation rate about 1/1500th that of water).
		The immediate treatment for nerve agent intoxication is intravenous injection of 2 mg atropine sulfate (intramuscular injection should be considered if the patient is hypoxic and ventilation can not be initiated, as there is a risk of ventricular fibrillation).
		Decontamination of victims is accomplished by removing the victim from the contaminated area, removal of clothing, and removal or neutralization of agent present on the skin.

		VG nerve agent is reportedly produced by the DPRK; however, no more details have yet emerged regarding its deployment in the North Korean CW stockpile.
		VG is a persistent agent, especially in comparison to other nerve agents such as tabun (GA), sarin (GB), or soman (GD).
		Because VG is a pesticide, its production could be disguised as part of an agrochemical enterprise in the DPRK, although its high mammalian toxicity bars its routine use without sufficient oversight and protective measures.

		The exact symptoms of overexposure are similar to those created by all nerve agents, and are described in more detail in that article.
		Tabun, the first known nerve agent, was discovered accidentally in 1936 by the German researcher Dr.
		Large scale manufacturing of the agent resulted in problems with the product\'s degradation over time and only around 12,500 tons of material were manufactured before the plant was over-run by the advancing Soviet forces.

		Nerve agents are chemicals that were first developed in Germany as an organo-phosphorus insecticide.
		These chemical agents were only made yet not used during World War II due to a treaty to ban all of the agents.

		One example of the novichok family is the third-generation nerve agent variant A-234 which is a simple unitary agent derived from aconitrile and a common organophosphate pesticide precursor.
		As a nerve agent, Novichok agents inhibit the enzyme cholinesterase, preventing the normal breakdown of acetylcholine.
		A Novichok binary nerve agent was used against the capital of Chechnya in the movie The Sum of All Fears.

	VM (nerve agent) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		VM (Phosphonothioic acid, methyl-, S-(2-(diethylamino)ethyl) O-ethyl ester) is a "V-series" nerve agent closely related to the better-known VX nerve agent.
		Like most of the agents in the V-series (with the exception of VX), VM has not been extensively studied outside of military science.
		They have similar lethal dose levels to VX (between 10-50 mg) and have similar symptoms and method of action to other nerve agents that act on cholinesterase.
